Racers Gamble on Plane Tickets on The Amazing Race 7
"The Devil Made Me Do It" -- Some Teams reserve seats on flights while others take a risk with unconfirmed tickets for an earlier connection, on THE AMAZING RACE 7, Tuesday, May 3 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.
Nearing the last legs of the Race, some Teams take a chance by purchasing airline tickets without confirmed seats on a connection, while other Teams have seats on a direct flight which arrives later. Forced to beg for money and personal provisions, one Racer shares a stranger's tube of lipstick. One Team uses the Yield to hold back another Team. Will this delay affect their standing in the Race? The remaining participants in the race are Uchenna/Joyce, Ron/Kelly, Rob/Amber, and Meredith/Gretchen.

This question is usually asked of a leading team, which makes me think Ron/Kelly are not the Yielded team. I'm thinking Romber Yield U/J, who started the leg in the lead.
Here's my spec (thanks to all the fine detection in various threads):
Romber get the lead with the early flight, get to the Yield first, and Yield U/J. As we've seen in the past, the Yield hardly ever puts people that far behind, and U/J catch up to M/G either at the Detour (where they help M/G with the boats) or at the RB (where both are seen in waning daylight). Ron/Kelly somehow move into 2d place, and Kelly manages to finish the BusBlock ahead of U/J and M/G. M/G get ahead of U/J (in the previews we saw Joyce having trouble with the bus, so Meredith finishes ahead).
Romber completes the tasks ahead of everyone, but somehow along the way, they either miss a step in one of the tasks, and have to return to complete it properly, or are penalized at the mat. Ron/Kelly come in first, followed by M/G, then U/J, all ahead of Romber.
The above is what i've based my MW picks on.

rmax i think you right one the only thing is that i dont think RA get a penalty (i mean they might) but i think its safer to say that maybe Rob does HORRIBLE at the roadblock and everyone passes him, becuase we do see MG at the RB geting dark and you never know RA could still be there.
So thats my spec. as to how RA get eliminated but you never know they could get a penalty.

This pretty well tells me that both R&A and R&K do the early flight. We were told that R&K get to use the internet in their special hotel suite (I would guess that they are not restricted to just Travelocity). So Ron or Kelly would have 12 hours to map out exit plans for a collection of likely destinations. This is presently puzzling me. Because wouldn't R&A head off to the airport (IST) before R&K go to (SAW)? I am seeing about a half hour between their checkin times. It's hard to imagine that both teams would think of using the SAW-CGN-STN trick independently.
Time is running out. But someone should see if there is another 'better' flight to use involving IST.
